Fry bacon until crisp in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Push

low, cover and simmer for 1 hour or until meat is tender. In a covered
saucepan over high heat, cook onions in 1 inch of boiling, salted water for
10 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes longer. Drain. If using canned
onions, skip this step and cook mushrooms in a small amount of butter. In a
small bowl, mix cornstarch and water and add to stew. Heat to boiling,
stirring constantly, and continue cooking until thickened. Add onions,
mushrooms, peas and olives. Cover and heat for 10 minutes. Yield: 6 to 8
